We made a bridge, and cut the banks down, so that the donkey and cattle could pass over.

It took us two hours, during which time we hauled them all across with a rope.

We were here misled by our guide, who took us across a marsh covered with tufts of grass, but with deep water between that never dries; there is a path which goes round it.

We came to another village with a river which must be crossed--no stockade here, and the chief allowed us to camp in his town.

There are long low lines of hills all about.
